The Wingham Advance-Times, 1946-05-23, Page 1LIONS WILL SPONSOR CLOTHING DRIVE W. R,. Hamilton Heads Committee For Wingham Health Minister, Russell T, Kelley, Provincial Chairman for the National Collection, appealed to every •one of Ontario's four million men, women and children to start saving their clothing and bedding for next month's campaign. The drive, scheduled for June 17th to 29th inclusive, is being sponsored by the Canadian Allied Re- lief Fund to aid the destitute in Allied countries, principally Europe. "Here, in a nutshell, is why we must have the help of everyone in this Pro- vince," Mr. Kelley said in his state- ment. *Unless Canadians and others of the world's more fortunate popu- lations contribute at least one garment per person, more than 130 million peo- ple, including 25 million children, face death from cold and exposure next winter. Those are staggering figures and they are accurate for they are the conservative estimates of international relief agencies." The Minister explained that all kinds of used, serviceable clothing are re- quired. These include, suits, over- coats, uniforms, work clothes for men and boys, infants cloth-es of all types, coats, dresses, aprons and smocks for girls and women, shoes in pairs, (tied securely with string), caps, felt hats, knitted headwear, gloves, woollen socks, underclothing, piece goods, blankets, sheets and linen, draperies and remnants. Md. Kelley added that all washable garments and goods should be washed but need not be ironed. Other gar- inents need not be dry cleaned. Cloth- es without buttons are acceptable, as supplies' of buttons are now moving into lands where the clothing will be worn. Items which cannot be baled, such as straw hats, feather ticks, •pil- lows and mattresses, should not be given, The Wingham Lions Club have again undertaken this important work, and plans are now being made for the collection. Wilfred Hamilton has ac- cepted the chairmanship and complete details will be announced later. A.Y.P.A. Held Social Evening The Young People of St. Paul's Church held a social evening on Mon- day.
